 Comments on This Image
Can anyone explain this tattoo to me? I really like the style of it, but I couldn’t figure out the meaning of the single scenes. The only obvious sin to me is “Lust”, shown by the couple in arms in the middle. I also thought the angel or demon above might symbolize “Pride”, and the person fighting on the ground with the snake might be “Envy”, but I am not sure on those ones. And what about “Gluttony”, “Greed”, “Sloth” and “Wrath”?
Any ideas on the interpretation?

Well, it's been an awful long time since I did this, and I don't have the time to dig up Michael's drawing notes (which I always keep client's notes and drawings) Sloth is the angel reclining at the top, Wrath is the two fighting, Greed are the people drowning in greed. That's all I remember... or you can make it up if you want.
